The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Pingyuan County, the county government mansion, Madam Ke’s inner courtyard.

A middle-aged man who looked like a manager knelt on the ground and reported the situation to Ke Caier.

"What did you say? Let them escape?" Aunt Ke was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground. The broken porcelain pieces and tea made the ground dirty.

She originally didn't want to do this to the mother and son, as the sickly child wouldn't live long anyway. But who could have let her encounter such a good opportunity? The mother and son actually wanted to go to Qinghe County to visit friends.

Qinghe County is close to the border, separated by Changshi County, and the journey is long, where bandits are rampant.

As long as she hired a killer to disguise as a bandit, she could easily kill the mother and son outside.

But she didn't expect that a man on horseback would appear on the way and rescue the mother and son.

The middle-aged man saw his master was angry, rolled his eyes, and said, "Master, although the mother and son were rescued by a man, Lu Yueshi was stabbed and seriously injured. In addition, he was weak to begin with. I guess even if there were a miracle doctor alive, he wouldn't be able to save them."

Hearing this, Ke Caier was overjoyed, and the flesh on her face twitched: "Really? Are you telling the truth?"

"Really, absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes," the middle-aged man said with certainty.

"Good! That's great!" Ke Cai'er was excited. "That sickly guy was already extremely weak. He will definitely not survive after this. From now on, my Chengyu and Cheng'an will be the legitimate sons of the county magistrate's mansion! Haha... Xiao Lingxin, without your son, you are nothing! What can you use to fight me?"

Lu Chengyu, Lu Chengan and Lu Qianzhi, who were sitting nearby, were all very happy.

Lu Chengyu said proudly: "During the Shangsi Festival in March, I am the eldest son of Magistrate Lu, so I will offer sacrificial wine and recite sacrificial hymns."

At that time, young men and women from all over the county would participate, and all the glory would be his.

As for marriage, he also wanted to divorce his concubine's daughter-in-law fiancée.

However, this matter can only be brought up after the identity of the eldest son is confirmed.

Lu Chengan also looked contemptuous: "Humph, from now on, this young master will be the second son of the legitimate wife. Those lowly bastards of Fatty are not worthy of being my friends!"

Lu Qianzhi also smiled with a shy face.

From now on, she would be the eldest daughter of the county magistrate, and her husband could only be chosen from among the legitimate sons. The lowly illegitimate sons were not worthy of her.

Ke Caier smiled and nodded: "As soon as the news of the sickly man's death comes, I will ask the master to find the elders of the clan and change the legitimate and illegitimate children in the family tree. From now on, I will be the real mistress of the county magistrate's mansion!"

What Ke Cai'er didn't know was that the information the steward reported to her was already delayed.

Not only was Lu Yueshi not dead, she was alive and well, and all the men in black that she sent were dead.

"Madam! Madam! The master is here!" The servant guarding outside the courtyard gate hurriedly ran in to report.

The four mothers and children in the room looked at each other and all put on an obedient and pleasing expression.

Lu Chengyu ordered his servants to clean the floor immediately, but Ke Caier went to the door.

Magistrate Lu had an elegant and handsome face, but his slightly fat belly made him lose some of his elegant demeanor and look a little greasy.

"Master, you must be tired. I have prepared some bird's nest porridge for you. Nanny Qian will bring it over!" Ke Cai'er stepped forward, took Magistrate Lu's arm, and snuggled up to him, her eyes full of tenderness and care.

County Magistrate Lu was very pleased and praised with a smile on his face: "Well, Cai'er still loves me the most."

Ke Cai'er pouted and said coquettishly, "I've been so good to you, giving birth to two sons and a daughter for you, but you've always been a lowly concubine. You're inferior to others wherever you go, humph!"

Magistrate Lu suppressed his smile and said in a slightly lowered voice, "When I get the dowry of that yellow-faced woman, I will divorce her and make you my legal wife."

He had been in the position of county magistrate for five or six years, and his term of office had expired. He needed money to bribe his way up.

Xiao Lingxin is no longer of any value to him.

"Really?" Ke Cai'er's face showed an innocent and naive look, which made people love her.

Magistrate Lu sighed, "Shi'er can't survive. I can't let my eldest son be a sickly child. The Lu family's incense can't be cut off."

Ke Cai'er took Magistrate Lu's arm and said coquettishly, "Master, you are so kind to me."

The three brothers and sisters sitting on the side all looked pleased.

On the other side, Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo rode side by side.

Xiao Yueshi looked at the backs of the two people and silently clenched her fingers.

He touched his ribs and vowed to himself that he must exercise well.

Without a good body, everything he wants is just a mirage.

"Xiao Shitou, why are you here?" Gu Qinghuai looked at Qi Yuanshuo with a smile in his eyes.

Qi Yuanshuo's heart beat faster because of her smile: "After you left, your grandparents were worried about you, so they rode horses to find me. When I got the news, I rushed over immediately."

Gu Qinghuai smiled and nodded, "How is Xiao Huhu?"

After only being out for half a day, Gu Qinghuai already missed his little cub very much.

Qi Yuanshuo smiled and said, "Little Huhu is really smart. She can recognize people at just two months old. She cried when she couldn't see you."

Hearing this, Gu Qinghuai felt a little sad, but also felt very happy.

There is one more person in this world who cares about her unconditionally. In the future, she will have more children so that more people will care about her and love her unconditionally.

She admitted that she came from the end of the world and was very lacking in love.

When the four arrived at the assassination site last night, they found the bodies of five or six palace soldiers and a dozen men in black, but the bodies of Nanny Dong and A Nai were nowhere to be found.

Xiao Ling was worried: "Will it be taken away by a wild beast?"

"Impossible," Xiao Yueshi shook his head. "With so many corpses, it's impossible for the beast to take away only the two of them. The probability of this happening is extremely low."

"Then why... did they disappear?" Xiao Ling felt very sad.

Nanny Dong was someone she brought from her mother's home, and she had long regarded her as a relative.

Xiao Yueshi, leaning on the Liuyun Sword, walked around and found several bloodstains extending into the distance.

One of them was left behind when Uncle Zhao took him and his mother away last night.

There were several more spots facing different directions, and there must be bloodstains of the men in black among them, after all, some of the men in black were also injured.

So, is there anything left here by An Nai and Nanny Dong?

A surge of joy welled up in Xiao Yueshi's heart.

The corpse disappeared for no reason, leaving behind traces of blood. It was either dragged away by someone, or taken away by a wild beast, or... they were still alive!

But he didn't say this thought out loud, so as not to give his mother hope and then bring disappointment.

He couldn't make a conclusion until things were confirmed.

Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo also had such a guess.

The body couldn't just disappear for no reason.

If Nanny Dong and A Nai are still alive, they must be found quickly. After all, they are seriously injured and are likely to be in great danger.

Gu Qinghuai blew a whistle, and the white head and white tail flew down and hung in front of her eyes.

They originally wanted to sit on their owner's shoulders and act coquettishly, but when they grew up, they became too heavy and would crush their owner.
